DRY GOODS AND NOTIONS.

A Useful Invention

George Thyark's new raisin dryer is
proving itself q successful experiment
It's one of his own planning, and con-
sists simply of board building about
sixteen by twenty-four feet in one room,
with ceiling about twelve feet high, in
which are two ventllators In the CEN
ter is trench three feet deep, in which
is large box stove, attached to which
is a sheet-iron drum about ten feetlong.
Racks are built with grooves to receive
the regular trays upon which the grapes
are brought from the vines, with space
enough TO admit only of free circulation
of the air, which. with the stove, is at a
necessary temperature to do the work
of drying the fruit, which is kept from
90 TO 100 degrees. We visited it on Mon
day and found it at full capacity with
choice fruit, the last of his crop, which
was all cleaned up and placed inside on
Saturday, just before the rain. The
dryer is working satisfactorily, AMI, as
it is a simple contrivance. it seems to be
very praoticable.-Hartford Sentinel.

PROVO POINTS.

SoMFTErNG OF an improvement IN the
snnearance of the Tabernacle block Is
heing made. by grading 1t TO conform
with the grade on Centre street.
V.1EyrtNE's DAY was rather more
Quiet than has been customary on Such
occasions. There seems to nave Deen
something like conspiracy TO ooycott
the postotfice.
alta little whist party in the Excelsior
House. a few nights ago. it was decided
NJ unanimous consent that the losers
at the game were entitled TO the credit
of furnishing the entertainment Tor the
other side.
Qua FRIENDS of the Loyal League do
not appear TO be pleased at the suoStl-
tute for the Edmunds-Tucker bill. The
idea of adultery being made a crime
equal TO cohabitation is horrible, and II
will be a little awkward Tor the fourteen
members TO nominate and elect them
selves 10 fill all the offices. They are
hard set to please.
The EXCELSIOR House, being within
two blocks of the Court House. on the
east side of the street leading to the
railroad depot, is very convenient for
visitors who may desire temporary
home in Provo. Mr.. Stephen ID. John
son came in possession of the property
a few weeks ago: the house has under
gone a thorough renovation and been
otherwise improved, so that now, with
enlarged dining room, wel-furnisheG
and ventilated bed rooms, elegant par
lors and sample rooms for commercial
men, the tables supplied with the best
in the market, Mr.. Johnson thinks he
is well prepared to provide for the com
fort OF his guests, so that all shall feel
themselves at home while stopping at
his house. The Excelsior is uuques-
tionably one of the best hotels south of
Salt Lake City. The fare is first class,
and charges moderate.
TWAS suggested by one Of the truly
loyal the other day, that the 2eXt thing
in order would be for he President to
remove every Republican office holder
in the Territory under civil service
rules. 1t was claimed that conspiracy
had existed ever since the Democratic
victory in 1884 TO manufacture some
political capital out of tie Mormon
Ques ton to aid the Republican party in
the next presidential campaign, Every
one of these Republican office holders
expected to be removed soon after The
Inauguration of President Cleveland
and il was though that if large num-
Der of cases could be commenced
against Mormens in such a way that
the new appointees would be obliged TO
dismiss them from the court calendar,
then Dickson and Zane could make
stump speeches at every rallying
point of their party in 1888 against the
administration for interfering 10 pre-
vent the enforcement of the law against
polygamy. The segregation lnterpreta-
ton, it is claimed, was at first lnaugu-
rated for this purpose; to manufacture
political capital for the Republican
party. The men who originated the
monstrous scheme never expected to
remain in Office to undo their own
crooked work, and now that they have
been compelled to do so, it is time for
them to turn over the offices to their
successors. There is no longer any
good prospect for the Republican party
to manufacture political capital out Of
the Mormon question.

s1eeping Between Damp Sheets.

The London Lancet, referring to the
death of Mr.. Mas, the well-known teno
calls attention to the peril of sleeping
in damp bed. As a matter of fact
this peril is of the greatest, and it is
almost ever present. The experienced
traveller rarely hazards the risk of sleep
ing between sheets, which are nearly
sure to be damp, until they have been
aired under his personal supervision at
a fire in his bedroom. If this be i'm
practicable he wraps his rug around
him, or pulls out the sheets and sleeps
between the bankets-a disagreeable,
but often prudent expedient. The direst
mischief may result from the contact
of an imperfectly heated body with
sheets which re ain moisture Medical

TIE COAST OETLETN

The letter of Major John Adsmson,
published i'll yesterdays GAZETTE, places
the advantages OF Corpus Christi and the
possibilities OF securing deep water near
that city in clear and favorable light.
That Padre Island w&s the most feasible
and economical point where access tc
deep water on the Texas COST could be
secured, has long been maintained by
msry well informed persons, and some OF
these have laboIed necessarily and patient
ly to secure capital with which to put the
question to a practical test and demon
stratc the superiority CT that port over
all others. If the advantages OF Corpus
Christi are correctly set forth by Major
Adamsor, and there is no reason to doubt
that they sre, the question Of one coast
outlet g. least is IS good as settled. The
fact that private capital aud private enter
prise propose and sre at present actively

the state ofTexas and the general govern
ment TO lend their assistance to the under
taking. The sum Of 5000 is seid to be
al that is required TO complete the work
If there is even possibility of success,
this sum should be advanced by the gen
eral government. 1t is 8 mere pittance
when compared with the vast sums annu-
ally expended upon q battle with the
forces o. reture, in attempts TO make
certain localities seaports and CONNER
cial centers, when the elements of nature
and the dictates OF common sense war
against 1t. and physical and geographical
impossibilities rise up mountain high in
opposition. That Texan products
of field, farm and ranch must be
transported by rail across the con-
tinent before reaching deep water is
q fact which reflects but little luster upon
the wisdom Of our patriotic statesmen
! who are supposed to labor and legisl&te
| for the good of al sections. 1t is 8
species OF commercial suicide which the
growing demands and increasing pros
perity of Texas cannot long tolerate
There is no reason why Texas should
not have port facilities capable of &C.
commodsting the entire trade OF vast
! portion of the northwest, besides hel
own territory, and the day is not far dis
tant when she must provide these
facilities or be the bond-woman o.
more enterprising states that will
furnish such accommodations. There
should be united effort made by 81
Texas representatives in the nationa
Legislature for assistance to obtain &C
cess to deep water on the coast. The
cheapest and most feasible points should
be selected first, and when ore port i:
opened smother csn be commenced. Cor
pus Christi being the more modest, ant
confessedly the best location, should bt
selected first. The little jeelousies an
LEGAL riyalries OF different places should
no longer prevent the Empire state from
having access to the ocean highways.
